Google Vault adds support for Calendar

Google Vault, an information governance and eDiscovery tool for Google Workspace, has added support for Google Calendar, allowing customers to take actions like managing, searching events, exporting data and applying holds to data.

The integration is available to Google Workspace Business Plus, Enterprise Essentials, Enterprise Essentials Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Standard, Education Plus customers or customers with the Vault add-on license.

More specifically, you can now take the following actions around Google Calendar data:

• Manage retention with default and custom rules. 
• Search and preview events with a number of filters, such as keyword search across the description, title, guests, locations and invite response status which can be used to quickly refine your search.
• Search for historical versions of events, which allows Vault Admins to search and export events as they appeared on a specific date. 
• Export data in multiple formats, including ICS, PST (MSFT format) and CSE-decryptable formats.
• Apply holds to prevent the purging of data which must be retained for legal purposes.

"This integration makes it easier for customers to comply with regional and legal mandates surrounding Calendar data, all from a central tool. Vault’s integration with Calendar rounds out support for critical Workspace apps such as Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat and Meet, providing customers with a consistent experience across all products that are managed within Vault," Google wrote in a post.

The integration is gradually rolling out to both Rapid and Scheduled Release domains and may take up to 15 days to be fully visible.
